Finally got round to test fMMS ver. 0.3.1 (as a follow up to my previous test of ver. 0.2.8). Here's what I've got:
  • Sorted out APNs on device, basically I have deleted "T-Mobile MMS" profile and added proxy address to main "T-Mobile Internet" profile, leaving "Use proxy" tickbox unchecked. That way same APN profile serves for general internet browsing as well as sending/receiving MMS.
  • Sending MMS to wife's SonyEricsson S500i stripped text again with that weird "Text fMMSpart6306 was deleted due to: no legal rules found for this media (-1)" message.
  • However, sending MMS to self (both send & receive via fMMS) did NOT cause stripping text, while fMMS ver. 0.2.8 did that, as per previous test.
  • Auto-receiving messages works like a charm! Both from self, as well as wife's SE. But condition is that I'm manually connected via GPRS/3G, of course - otherwise fMMS tries to open MMS forever...
  • Odd "AAAA" button is gone from received messages, which is great plus.
  • Sent messages don't display my avatar in the list. Avatars are only displayed at received messages.
  • Usability note: would it be possible to sort "Open file" list while adding attachment by date / newest first? It's quite inconvenient to scroll all the way down to reach the latest picture taken by camera.

Thanks for taking the time to test it and report back!

Yes, still not fixed the SMIL-generation (which I believe to be the cause of this). It's something I want to get fixed, but not had the time to do it with uni getting started and whatnot

Really weird - for me it times out after x seconds - do you press the SMS Push notification to launch the UI to get this behavior?

Great
Ah, I overlooked that - have to take a look at how to get the users own avatar displayed I guess

Great idea - I'll have to look in to this, hopefully it's doable (but python-hildon bindings are a bit buggy w.r.t. filechooserdialog I'm afraid).


Thanks again for the great feedback!





In other news, I managed to setup my gprs connection without the rest of the phone knowing it, and managed to send/receive MMS while the rest of the phone thought I was on wlan Just need to figure out how the hell I'm suppose to automate it

Problem with fMMS? Run in x-terminal: cp /tmp/fmms.log /home/user/MyDocs/
After that you'll see fmms.log in filemanager or when you connect the device to your desktop as a mass storage device.
E-mail the log to me, if you don't have the email address, drop me a PM. Thanks!

fMMS - MMS for your N900
fAPN - GUI for adding a new GPRS APN
If you like this post, don't be shy to thank me -->

My pleasure. :)

I've been waiting for over 2 minutes this time. I've overlooked some notification disappearing in-between after ~1 minute, but main notification "Opening MMS..." was still on and on, so I killed it.

I don't remember whether I tapped push notification...

Great idea - I'll have to look in to this, hopefully it's doable (but python-hildon bindings are a bit buggy w.r.t. filechooserdialog I'm afraid).
That's what I thought it could be, ie. system-wide widget that needs fixing, not necessarily fMMS itself. If you don't get any workaround, I'd file bugzilla entry on this, as same behaviour applied to many parts of the system, for example adding attachment to email in Modest. :(

Excellent! Having seamless auto-connection with appropriate APN profile would make fMMS complete for me. Well, maybe 97.1% complete. ;)

So basically you don't have to manually change connection, right . Can you make some screen shot of the setting

Hmm....no matter in what order I add the mms APN and other duplicate APN for the normal packet connection, some applications want to use the mms APN. But apparantly this is something you'll have live with at the moment ifyou wan't to use fMMS?

Basically, T-Mobile UK uses exactly the same APN (general.t-mobile.uk) for both general internet browsing and handling MMS messages. The only difference is the proxy, which is not used for general browsing, but is required for MMS. Since fMMS always uses proxy, regardless if "Use proxy" checkbox is set or not, it's quite easy to use the same APN profile for both internet and MMS - add proxy IP address and port to the profile but keep "Use proxy" checkbox un-ticked. :)

When I've had a separate "T-Mobile MMS" profile set in device, some apps like browser or email client sometimes tried to use it to connect to the internet, which obviously didn't work, as proxy did not pass non-MMS traffic through. I've had to manually reconnect with "T-Mobile Internet" profile, which obviously wasn't very convenient at all.

Anyhow, I generally think it's NOT right way of handling this in Maemo 5. What I'd rather love to see is native way of configuring multiple GPRS/3G connection profiles (by native I mean via regular system's control panel, not 3rd party apps like fAPN) with some sort of categorisation/priority, ie. where I could set that profile ABC is default profile for general browsing and XYZ profile is just for MMS.

Your idea worked for me, also ( I am on T-Mobile USA).

Well, I actually use epc.tmobile.com. Anyway, I added the proxy settings as per the wiki in to the existing APN but without activating it.
